Today's Headline: #QinZheng Accused of Murder and Detained#
Upon opening her eyes, Qin Zheng found herself not far from iron railings. She was crumpled in a corner of the room, shivering with cold, and her head was spinning with dizziness.
Rubbing the temples, she slowly stood up to look outside.
Outside of her detention cell, two police officers were standing guard.
Where was she?
Why were these people dressed so strangely?
A flash of memories surged in her mind, triggering a splitting headache. She had to clutch the wall to remain standing.
It took her a long time to organize her scattered memories.
She was stunned to realize she had been transmigrated into a different world, reborn utilizing another body.
Qin Zheng was originally the War Goddess of the Immortal realm, who died due to a cultivation accident. This body she now occupied was also named Qin Zheng, a somewhat famous entertainer.
She was in the police station now because while she was at her company today, an artist named Luo Shi committed suicide by jumping off a building and landed right next to the feet of the original Qin Zheng.
Furthermore, a dispute had once occurred between the original Qin Zheng and Luo Shi before the latter's suicide.
The police had discovered that Luo Shi's death wasn't a regular suicide, and thus temporarily detained Qin Zheng as a suspect.
Qin Zheng touched her eyes with her fingertips, revealing a flash of golden light.
Refocusing her gaze on the corridor outside the detention cell, she could see a transparent human soul drifting by.
"Come here," Qin Zheng murmured softly, caressing the spirit to her side.
"Can — can you see me?" Luo Shi's soul, looked at Qin Zheng in astonishment.
Qin Zheng gave a slight nod, "Who exactly killed you? I can help you."
Hearing these words, Luo Shi remembered the experiences before her death and couldn't help but burst into tears, "Sob sob sob, that scumbag Du Hongquan, he was the one who pushed me!"
Qin Zheng walked over to the police, "I remembered some things related to the case."
The police again took her to the interrogation room. Qin Zheng relayed what Luo Shi had told her. The police initially had no idea about the connection between Luo Shi and Du Hongquan, and immediately began investigating him.
Not long after, Qin Zheng's agent came to bail her out.
Qin Zheng only had conflicts with Luo Shi, she was not directly suspected of killing Luo Shi. So she successfully got bail and left the police station smoothly.
"You're indeed unlucky - she had to fall right next to your feet," Agent Tao An thought about the rumors online and felt a headache coming on.
"That coward Fang Xining, as soon as he found out you were in trouble, he immediately distanced himself from you. He even claimed that the photos in the scandal were you deliberately harassing him!
Damn him! I told you not to chase after that dog of a man, who looks just like a wolf with a dog's heart, but you didn't listen!"
Tao An turned his head to look at Qin Zheng, his face full of frustrated disappointment.
"Let me check."
Yawning, Qin Zither leaned lazily against the passenger seat, looking at her phone.
[Fang Xin Ning V: I have no relation with Miss Qin Zither. Her pestering me has bothered me for a long time, but I felt saying it out loud might hurt a girl's self-esteem, so I didn’t explain.]
[ Qin Zither V: Give me back my money.]
The original owner had pursued Fang Xin Ning for a long time and spent a lot of money on him.
Not only this, but Fang Xin Ning also kept borrowing money and not returning it.
A few days ago, the two confirmed their relationship as a couple, but then the issue of Luo Shi jumping off a building occurred.
Fang Xin Ning had no intention of making it public initially but, seeing Qin Zither's misfortune, he eagerly disassociated himself, fearing others would brand him a girlfriend of a murderer.
[ You have the audacity to ask for money as a murderer? Have you no shame?]
[ How can our brother possibly spend your money? Don't talk nonsense here!]
[ I'm amazed, why isn't Qin Zither dead yet? Could you just die already?]
Qin Zither had only just spoken up online and was instantly met with collective mockery and insults.
Everyone thought of her as someone who liked to harass male actors, shameless and cruel murderer.
Fang Xin Ning quickly followed up with another post.
[Fang Xin Ning V: First, I would never spend a woman's money. Second, I would definitely not have any intimate contact with a murderer. Besides her usual harassment, we don't have much contact privately.]
【Qin Zither V: Wait till I disclose my bank statements, then you'll know whether you've been spending my money. Who is always claiming to be broke every month, borrows money from me and then doesn't pay back? I have kept the evidence and I will sue you.
As for whether I committed murder, the police will investigate the truth. If this matter is not related to me, and you, being a public figure, continue to spread rumors, I hope you apologize to me. Otherwise, just as I said, I will sue you.】
After she posted these words, another tide of internet slander was directed at Qin Zither.
Qin Zither paid no attention, first she organized all the receipts and transfer records where she bought things for Fang Xining, and then she shared these screenshots on Weibo.
Fang Xining's face paled significantly the moment he saw her Weibo post.
He absolutely did not expect that she could be so ruthless as to post such evidence slamming him.
Qin Zither's manager sent her back home first.
Not long after she reached the neighborhood, Fang Xining rushed over in his car.
"Zither!"
He saw Qin Zither entering the building and hurriedly ran over.
"How could you actually post those screenshots! I only said those things online because I was thinking about my career. I don't mean them! This matter has a serious negative impact, and I can't afford any mistakes during my career rise."
Qin Zither watched him calmly, spread her hands and simply said, “Pay back.”
Fang Xining's face turned ashen, "Are you trying to ruin me? Is this the 'love' you claimed? If you really love me, can you consider my career a bit more!"
"I don't give a damn about love, pay back!"
Fang Xining was astounded, completely unable to understand how she could be so merciless.
In the past, just a few sweet words from him were enough to placate her.
Fang Xining's gaze grew progressively colder. "Qin Zheng, you'd better hurry up and delete those screenshots, and explain that all this is fake. Or else, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Are you threatening me?"
She raised an eyebrow lackadaisically, her gaze resting on Fang Xining's countenance. His aura was heavily obscured in darkness, faintly illuminated by a few strands of bewitching pink light.
"You seem to enjoy playing two ends against the middle, no wonder you're afflicted with the Peach Blossom Curse. If you openly apologize to me and return all the money, perhaps I might consider sparing your pathetic life."
"I apologize to you? What kind of fantasy is that!" Fang Xining retorted disdainfully, "It was you who kept clinging onto me, showering me with gifts and money. Whose fault is that now?"
"Look at his audacity!"
His agent, Tao An, sneered, "The money you've given him is better off feeding dogs."
Qin Zheng nodded, "Indeed, it's like feeding a dog."
"You just wait and see!"
Fang Xining shot a hateful glare at Qin Zheng and stormed off.
"At least now you see his true colors, you won't be deceived again in the future." Tao An said, expressing her relief albeit with a hint of worry on her face.
"I wonder when the police will solve the case, the netizens still think you are the murderer."
"They will solve it soon."
Qin Zheng seemed calm, for she had already deduced that the police would swiftly crack the case.
